No, there's just NO WAY! that can be real. That is too much distance to cover give the short slope he slid down. There was definitely not enough water on the plastic. I am going to have doubt what I saw with my own eyes, something is not adding up.

Furthermore, not enough water in the pool to protect him from the wooden platform. It's an excellent video but there is just no way it's real.

Believe me, I'm trying to figure it out... problem is we have no large scale view of the area (so I haven't yet determined the rough distance from start to finish). One thing that's particularly problematic is that the little pool didn't "give" at all when he hit it.

This is what I see

My guess is it's a really clever fake...

You must be on a mac.

I'll email it to you.

Fake or not, they should have a "now, kids, don't try this at home" warning.

Not real!

snopes.com: Megawoosh Water Slide

I'm going to have to agree, something is a little odd about that.

ooohooo! That's real! That's my brother!

Beat me to it, Bob. I saw this Microsoft Germany advertisement two weeks ago on a techno-blog. Pretty good viral video, but it kinda fails at promoting the brand.

the second video looks like me when i get up out of bed in the morning!

I don't mean to be harsh, but I really can't believe that so many people even had to question whether or not this was real!

Even with a few quick calculations (I like physics) I could tell that there was no way that was real.

You are harsh and now I'm

i apologize. Forgive me?

naw! you don't need any! just trying to make smile but I guess your pic already is!

That reminded me of Clark Griswold and his super slick coating he put on his saucer.

By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestinated unto everlasting life, and others foreordained to everlasting death.

I first saw this on the Failblog and thought it was real (with a good portion of skepticism left however). Then I saw on the news that it was a fake. They apparently edited this video really well. There were at least three separate shots all put into one.

I don't know. Look at the post from Sarah just above yours. It seems to have put the hurt on at least one Mac person.

Of course, I cancelled when WMP said it would take 14 minutes to download.
